The connecting device (31) comprises an arm (32) oriented in the direction of advance (A) when the support arm (7) is in the work configuration, this arm (32) is articulated on the support arm (7) about a first transverse and horizontal axis (33) when the support arm (7) is in the work configuration, and this arm (32) can, by pivoting about the first axis (33), move vertically relative to the support arm (7) in the work configuration.4/8 co NTI COO C) C) N( (NN (DO0 C I'- ~ c -4- 4-
